BEST OF 2001-2009

In The Shadows

no sleep,no sleep until I'm done with finding the answerwon't stop,won't stop before I find a cure for this cancerand sometimes I feel like going down and so disconnectedsomehow I know that I'm haunted to be wanted

I've been watching,I've been waiting in the shadows for my timeI've been searching,I've been living for tomorrows all my life

they say that I must learn to kill before I can feel safebut I, I'd rather kill myself than turn into their slaveand sometimes I feel like I should go and play with the thunder'cause somehow I just don't wanna stay and wait for a wonder

Guilty (US mix)

I feel guiltymy words are emptyno signs to give youI don't have the time for you

you say I'm heartlessand you say I don't careI used to be there for youand you've said I seem so dead, that I have changedbut so have you

guilty, guilty I feel soempty, empty you know how to make me feel

I put a shield upon youI didn't mean to hurt youI would have only poisoned your mindnever meant to make you cry

you've been so toughtlessI can see right through youyou used to be there for meso don't you leave say goodbye'cause you have changed but so have I

I never though that the time and the distancebetween us made you so much colderI'll carry the world on my shoulders

October & April (featuring Anette Olzon)

She was like April skySunrise in her eyesChild of light, shining starFire in her heartBrightest day, melting snowBreaking through the chillOctober & April

He was like frozen skyIn October nightDarkest cloud, endless stormRaining from his heartColdest snow, deepest blueTearing down his breatheOctober & April

Like hate and loveWorlds apartThis fatal love was like poison right from the startLike light and darkWorlds apartThis fatal love was like poison right from the start

We were like loaded gunsSacrificed our livesWe were like love undoneCraving to entwine

Fatal touchFinal thrillLove was bound to killOctober & April

Chorus

Hate and loveWorlds apartThis fatal love was like poison right from the startLight and darkWorlds apartThis fatal love was like poison right from the start

October & April

First Day Of My Life

feel like I'm stoned,I wanna be alone,just for a while unknownweeks on the road a long way from home,just shut off the phoneand you say I'll heal you I'll always be yoursand you say I'll kill you if I do something wrong,yeah, yeah

still feels like the first timeto stand here by your sidetogether regardlesswe'll walk through the darknessstill feels like the first day of my life

remember the times,together we swore to never give up this lifestill hanging on, still going strong, here I belongand maybe I'm crazy but I just can't slow downyeah maybe I'm crazy but at least I'm still around,yeah, yeah

Livin' In A World Without You

Suddenly someone was there in the windowLooking outside at a sky that had never been blue

There's a world without youI see the lightLivin' in a world without youThere is hope to guide meI will surviveLivin' in a world without you

It's hard to believe that it came to thisYou paralyzed my body with a poisoned kissFor forty days and nights I was chained to your bedYou thought that was the end of the storySomething inside me called freedom came aliveLivin' in a world without you

You put me togetherThen trashed me for pleasureYou used me again and againAbused me, confused me

Suddenly naked I run through your gardenRight through the gates of the past and I'm finally free

Chorus

F-F-F-Falling

I don't go school every mondayI've got my reason to sleepdon't you tell me how I should beI made up my mind about the musicI made up my mind about the styleI know that I'm stable and able to settle downbut I keep

f-f-f-fallingdown with the sunI can't give it up the night is calling me like a drumI keep on f-f-f-falling

this life is so full of temptation and I want to keep it that wayI know myself I can handle the gameI made up my mind about the futureI made up my mind about the pastI know that I'm stable and able to hold on

fallingI need a flame, I need a sparkdon't be afraid to open my heartI need a game, I need a shockdon't be afraid my heart is unlocked

Chill

I gotta make a phone call to my best friendsI gotta let them know that I'm leavingeverything behind me and politely I don't wanna hurt their feelingsoh noI'll need to come back and I wanna explain why I had to leave them sleepingthe answer's in the air but I really don't care 'cos I couldn't really keep on breathing the smoke

and every time when I painted my roomlike a fool I hid my feelingsand every time when I painted my roomI thought about leaving

you roll like a stone girl, you should not stopand I don't wanna step on your feetand you do what you do to stay on topand I don't wanna make you feel incomplete

at the end of the dayI don't know what to sayat the end of the dayI'll be flying away

Immortal

Strange signs, crooked signalsStrike down the last aerialsHeaven's bendingBelow the world beginsto breakLife's endingThe time has come to escapeDown to the chambers

Drink this blood andwe'll becomeImmortal, baby this loveis breakingThe one last bond

We chose the silenceHatred, cruel violenceWe should be ashamedWe had a chance thatwe ignoredAnd now it's too lateThe end is knocking onthe doorReady to claim us

Surrender to my loveSacrifice your soulYour picture in the frameIs faiding like a ghostNever say goodbyeNever be aloneNever say good nightNever say die

Justify

So close so farI'm lost in timeReady to follow a signIf there was only a sign

The last goodbyeBurns in my mindWhy did I leave you behindGuess it was too high to climb

Give me a reasonWhy would you want meTo live and dieLiving a lieYou were the answerAll that I neededTo justifyJustify my life

Someone as beautiful as youCould do much better it's trueThat didn't matter to you

I tried so hard to be the oneIts something I couldn't doGuess I was under the gun

Chorus

It's only rightThat I should goAnd find myselfBefore I go and ruinSomeone else

So close so farI'm lost in timeReady to follow a signIf there was only a sign

Chorus

It's only rightThat I should goAnd find myselfBefore I go and ruinSomeone else

Shot

Tonight we escapeJust you and meWe'll find our peaceSomewhere across the seas

Enough of the frightEnough of the fussI'll be awake if he finds us

Needless to sayI'll stand in your wayI will protect you and I'll...

I'll take the shot, for youI'll be the shield for youNeedless to say,I'll stand in your way

I'll take the shot, for youI'll give my life, for youI'll make it stopI'll take the shot for you

Tonight we'll be freeI'll find us a homeTonight we will beFinally on our own

Enough of the hellEnough of the painI won't let him touch you,I love you

Needless to sayI'll stand in your wayI will defend you and I'll...

Enough of the scarsEnough broken heartsI will protect you and I'll...

Funeral Song

I dumped you againI don't understandit's happened beforecan't take it no more

these foolish gamesalways end up in confusionI'll take you backjust to leave you once again

I died in my dreamswhat's that supposed to mean?got lost in the fireI died in my dreamsreaching out for your handmy fatal desire

I've failed you again'cause I let you stayI used to pretendthat I felt ok

just one big liesuch a perfect illusionI made you minejust to hurt you once again

Ghost Of Love

I am near youYou don't see meCan you feel meI'm closer than close

Does it hurtDoes it burnDo you knowWhat you've lostAre you scared of the dark

Now that you're goneAll that remainsIs the ghost of loveDeep in my mindI hear the chainsOf the ghost of love

You are fallingDown underneathYou'll be crawlingLower than low

Can you sleepCan you breatheWhen you knowWhat you've doneTell me where will you run

Chorus

You were flawlessCruel and thoughtlessAnd all that you left meIs the Ghost of love

I'm fadingI'm barley breathingCan't hold onI'm dyingI must be bleedingWon't be long

Chorus

Open My Eyes (acoustic version)

Fear is like a treeThat grows inside of me silently And you could be my bloodAnd be a part of me secretly
